    I thought everyone rich enough not to live somewhere with holes in the walls and poor enough not to own a golf course considered themselves “middle class.”

    A thoroughly useless term.

      folks with holes in the wall still imagine themselves “middle class” if washed thoroughly enough in ideology. you ever talk to those old folks that say shit like ‘we never thought we were poor’ and then talk about getting a coal stipend to not freeze in the winter as a core childhood memory brainworms
